There were a few recipes from the blog that I just had to put in my cookbook. I couldn’t leave out some of the staples that I find myself making on busy weeknights when I’m digging around the pantry checking to see what canned goods I can turn into a delicious dinner. This Mexican Quinoa…

These stovetop brussels sprouts are a quick and easy way to add a healthy side dish to any meal! The Brussels Sprouts are cooked until brown and crispy and the almonds add a delicious crunch! Remember when brussels sprouts were just a joke of a vegetable used to threaten children? We’ve come a long way…

These 10-minute green beans are a new favorite in our house. There’s something about haricot verts that just seems fancy, but don’t let the name fool you. These green beans come together so quickly, they might be one of the easiest side dishes ever. I snagged a bag of haricot verts at Trader Joe’s and the first thing…

When Alex and I were celebrating my birthday a few weeks ago, we ended up making quite a few yummy dishes. Alex picked out the recipes, shopped for all the ingredients, and he and I did the fun part together! I wanted to share this broiled tomato recipe because it’s a great one if your…

I’m pretty sure I’d eat pizza every day if I could. But since eating pizza on the daily probably wouldn’t feel that great, I’ve been finding other ways to get my pizza fix in a slightly healthier way. My latest pizza obsession? These super easy zucchini pizza bites! Since these are only a few ingredients,…

Back in college, butternut squash fries were my thing. My roommate Alexa and I would make a giant pan-full (ok, sometimes two pans) turn on a Lifetime movie, crack open a bottle of ketchup and girls night was complete. I’m not sure why they fell off my radar for a while but I’m happy to report…

If you’ve ever searched for a healthy cauliflower recipe, you’ve probably heard about the “cauliflower mash” craze. Basically, you just puree cauliflower with some butter/spices/etc. and it’s a healthy swap for mashed potatoes. I’ve made it before and it’s pretty good… but I knew it wouldn’t pass the test for my potato loving midwestern husband….

I’ve told you before: I’m a bread girl. I’m powerless against a fluffy dinner roll. I could eat an entire bag of popcorn in one sitting. I’ll steal all of the crackers off the cheese plate. I don’t know why I love carbohydrates so much but I do. It’s part of the reason it’s easy…

Let me start by saying that I’m not suddenly promoting some low carb/no carb diet thing. I love my carbohydrates and I’d never ever give them up, but a common pitfall of vegetarianism is eating nothing but carbs. It’s happens. I’m totally guilty of it because I think bread/pasta/granola/crackers are delicious and because sometimes that’s…

Remember that 7 day slim down I did at the beginning of the year? Let me tell you, that’s still the best meal plan I’ve ever tried. I felt energized throughout the week, and even though I missed some of my old favorites, I enjoyed the results. But since then, I’ve been slacking. A little…
